In this episode we talk with Pat Mosley, a Gardnerian
witch in North Carolina. We talk about how Wicca takes on the
culture of where it’s at, and how it’s not that much of a stretch
for people to be multi-faith practitioners. Pat discusses his
coven, Granny Magick, and his involvement in CUUPs. We also talk
politics and #HB2 (also known as the “bathroom bill”) and how, on
the ground in North Carolina, there are more people who are against
it rather than for it. Pat talks about the uphill battle in
challenging their state government and the disconnect of their
elected leaders from the people they represent.

Note:After recording
this podcast in May, and after another blow up around transgender women in
women’s only spaces (primarily concerning Budapestian Dianic
Witchcraft), Pat has announced a call for submissions for a
anthology called “Arcane Perfection”.You can click here for more information.

Pat Mosley is a
Weirdo Inspired to Create Here (WITCH). He writes semi-regularly at
Patheos Pagan, but more of his work can be found at his website.
Pat is a Gardnerian Witch, and is currently conspiring to author a
book on one Appalachian coven's vision of Wicca in the next year or
so. Pat is also a coordinator for Mountain CUUPs (Covenant of
Unitarian Universalist Pagans) in Boone, North Carolina--where
everyone is welcome to share a meal and sing a spell.
